What is Khagineh?

Khagine or khaigneh in Persian language means food that is prepared by mixing egg yolk and egg white and frying it in oil or butter.

Flour and eggs are the main ingredients of Khagineh. Qiqanaq is a type of thin khagineh which is cooked in Zanjan and Tabriz and served with tea during breakfast.

The difference between Zanjani khagineh and other khagineh is that no syrup is used. In fact, in Zanjan, sugar is added to the Khagine base from the beginning to make it sweet.
